RNA-sequencing of cTECs, mTECs, and thymocyte maturation subsets SM, M1 and M2 from the CD4 and CD8 lineages from WT and Psmb11-deficient mice [DSP405]

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) contain a unique type of proteasomes, thymoproteasomes. Indirect evidence suggests that the key role of PSMB11, a catalytic subunit of thymoproteasomes specific to cTECs, is to generate a unique repertoire of MHC I peptides. Notably, PSMB11-deficient mice display defective development of CD8 thymocytes. The objective of this study was to characterize the impact of PSMB11 on cTECs and thymocyte development. Since different types of proteasomes have non-redundant effects on gene expression, we hypothesized that thymoproteasomes should have a distinct impact on the transcriptome and thereby the function of cTECs. Results: We report that PSMB11 in cortical thymic epithelial cells has dramatic effects on cTECs on both CD4 and CD8 thymocyte populations. PSMB11 modulates the expression of 850 genes in cTECs, 582 in CD4 thymocytes and 284 in CD8 thymocytes. PSMB11-regulated cTEC genes are involved mainly in cell-cell adhesion, extracellular matric organization and thymocyte chemotaxis. PSMB11-deficient cTECs acquire features of mTECs and perturb thymocyte development. Deletion of PSMB11 causes a major cell stress in both CD4 and CD8 thymocyte populations. Of note, PSMB11-deficiency had no impact on medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), which originate from progenitors that express PSMB11 early in ontogeny. Conclusion: We conclude that PSMB11 has pervasive effects on both CD4 and CD8 thymocytes via regulation of gene expression in cTECs.

RNA-seq profiling of cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells from wildtype and Kat7 knockout mice

Project description:Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) govern thymic T lymphocyte differentiation and selection. They can be divided into cortical and medullary TECs based on their anatomical location, function and molecular features. Cortical TECs (cTECs) provide the microenvironment for the commitment of haematopoietic precursors to the T lymphoid lineage and mediate the positive selection of CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes. Medullary TECs (mTECs) facilitate the negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the differentiation of FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells2. Medullary TECs are also distinctive for their "promiscuous" gene expression, transcribing thousands of peripheral tissue genes (PTG) that are otherwise only expressed highly in one or two other organs. Much of this PTG expression by mTECs is controlled by the autoimmune regulator, AIRE. To determine the transcriptional impact of Kat7 loss, we purified mTECs and cTECs from Kat7-knockout and control mice and performed RNA-seq. The mTECs were further divided into MHCII-high and MHCII-low subsets.

Transcriptome sequencing of Wild-type and psmb11-/- thymic epithelial cells

Project description:Purpose: as regulator of protein degradation, proteasomesregulate pratically all cellular functions. We assume that psmb11 specific expression by cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) could have far reaching effect on cTECs biology and their involvment in thymocytes' education. Method: We analyzed the poly(A)+ transcriptome of TEC populations by RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) in order to gain novel insights into psbm11 functions Results: We demonstrate here that psmb11-deficiency affects the transcription of 450 genes in cortical thymic epithelial cells Conclusion: Our study reveals that one of psmb11 cellular roles could rely on transcriptional regulation and more important, inhibition of mTEC-lineage engagement in cTEC differenciation.

Sex hormones have pervasive effects on thymic epithelial cells

Project description:The goal of our study was to evaluate at the systems-level, the effect of sex hormones on thymic epithelial cells (TECs). To this end, we sequenced the transcriptome of cortical and medullary TECs (cTECs and mTECs) from three groups of 6 month-old mice: males, females and males castrated at four weeks of age. In parallel, we analyzed variations in the size of TEC subsets in those three groups between 1 and 12 months of age. We report that sex hormones have pervasive effects on the transcriptome of TECs: the number of differentially expressed genes was 1,440 in cTECs and 1,783 in mTECs. Sexual dimorphism was particularly conspicuous in cTECs. Male cTECs displayed low proliferation rates that correlated with low expression of Foxn1 and its main targets. Furthermore, male cTECs expressed relatively low levels of genes instrumental in thymocyte expansion (e.g., Dll4) and positive selection (Psmb11 and Ctsl). Nevertheless, cTECs were more abundant in males than females. Accumulation of cTECs in males correlated with differential expression of genes regulating cell survival and cell differentiation. Unexpectedly, we observed that female and male sex hormones repressed promiscuous gene expression in mTECs. Since sex hormones did not affect the expression of Aire per se, they must impinge on the activity of unidentified regulator(s) of promiscuous gene expression in mTECs. The sexual dimorphism of TECs highlighted here may be mechanistically linked to the well-recognized sex differences in susceptibility to infections and autoimmune diseases.

Role of AhR in thymocyte emigration in vivo

Project description:Over-activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by TCDD in mice leads among other phenotypes to a severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. TCDD causes a block in thymocyte maturation and a preferential emigration of immature CD4-CD8- DN thymocytes (recent thymic emigrants) into the periphery. As part of this study gene expression profiles from DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants were generated from TCDD and solvent control mice Keywords: Affymetrix, TCDD, CD4-CD8- thymocytes, Thymus involution, thymic emigration, Ahr Female, 6-8 week old C57BL6 mice were i.p. injected with 10 M-BM-5g/kg TCDD. After 5 days mice were anesthezised and FITC injected into their thymi. after 24h mice were sacrificed and CD4-CD8-FITC+ cells isolated from thymus (thymocytes) and spleen (recent thymus emigrants).

microRNA expression in thymic epithelial cells

Project description:Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) support T cell development in the thymus. Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) facilitate positive selection of developing thymocytes whereas medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) facilitate the deletion of self-reactive thymocytes in order to prevent autoimmunity. The mTEC compartment is highly dynamic with continuous maturation and turnover, but the genetic regulation of these processes remains poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of TEC genetic programs since miRNA-deficient TECs are severely defective. However, the individual miRNAs important for TEC maintenance and function and their mechanisms of action remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-205 is highly and preferentially expressed in mTECs during both thymic ontogeny and in the postnatal thymus. This distinct expression is suggestive of functional importance for TEC biology. Genetic ablation of miR-205 in TECs, however, neither revealed a role for miR-205 in TEC function during homeostatic conditions nor during recovery from thymic stress conditions. Thus, despite its distinct expression, miR-205 on its own is largely dispensable for mTEC biology. In order to identify miRNAs differentially expressed in mTECs, we purified cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs), mTECs and CD45+ cells as three distinct populations and prepared RNA for microarray analysis. Thymic subsets were FACS-purified from 4-week old NOD wildtype mice. Thymi from 10-12 female mice were pooled together for stromal cell isolation for a total of 3 CD45+, 2 cTEC and 3 mTEC biologic replicates.

RNA-seq of Smarca5-deficient CD4/CD8 double-positive thymocytes isolated from 6-week mouse thymi and their comparison with wild-type and TP53-null controls.

Project description:Here we utilized a conditional knock-out mouse model to investigate the role of Smarca5, an ISWI subfamily chromatin remodeling ATPase, during thymocyte development using hCD2-iCre transgene. We did transcriptional profiling of FACS-sorted CD4/CD8 double-positive thymocytes as this thymic population was persistent yet strongly underrepresented in adult 6-week mutant thymi. Controls included age-matched CD4/CD8 double-positive thymocytes from wild-type and tumor suppressor protein Trp53-null mice. For comparison, the Smarca5/Trp53-double-deficient thymocytes included in the experiment were partially rescued upon loss of Trp53.
